{{AFC comment|1=I think there simply isn't enough coverage to justify a standalone article. He shows up in bunch of disconnected places, such as being cited as an expert of paranormal activities once, and passing mentions that he contributed to various music videos, but most of the sources are just plain interviews and this article reflects that.

{{AFC comment|1=Per a request at the help desk, I took a look and agree with the decline.  None of the sources provide in-depth coverage ''about Acosta''.  Most are interviews so not independent and/or are about the series which already has an article.
